Following the successful launch of the Leningrad-2-48k project and incorporating community feedback, this version transitions from dynamic RAM (DRAM) to static RAM (SRAM). Following the successful launch of the [Leningrad-2-48k](https://github.com/Alex-2-Graf/LENINGRAD-2-48k) project and incorporating community feedback, this version transitions from dynamic RAM (DRAM) to static RAM (SRAM).
This architectural shift required a significant redesign of the memory management unit. As a direct benefit, the system memory has been expanded to 128K directly on the mainboard without requiring any external expansion daughterboards.

Additionally, the freed-up PCB space allowed the integration of two YM2149F sound chips, providing "out-of-the-box" Turbo Sound support (by NedoPC). An IORQ arbiter was also added to the schematic.

The final result of these upgrades is the **"Leningrad 2 NEXT 128K + TS 2025"** motherboard. Following hardware assembly, testing, and minor debugging, the project was officially given a new name by close friends: **"Aurora"**.

### Revisions & Hardware Modules ### Revisions & Hardware Modules
#### Mainboard Revisions #### Mainboard Revisions
* **Revision 2.01** ([Schematics](https://github.com/Alex-2-Graf/Leningrad-2-128k-SRAM) / [Gerber](https://github.com/Alex-2-Graf/Leningrad-2-128k-SRAM)) — *Initial release. Features a humorous design note: at the urgent request of the PCB manufacturer, the board text was changed from "Made in..." to "Designed in..." ;)* * **Revision 2.01** ([Schematics](Export/Leningrad%202%20128k%20SRAM%202.01%202025.pdf) / [Gerber](Gerber/Leningrad%202%20128k%20SRAM%202.01%202025%20gerber%20made%20in%20Italy.zip)) — *Initial release.

#### Bus Adapters & Expansion Boards #### Bus Adapters & Expansion Boards
* **Nemo-bus and ZX-bus Adapter** ([Gerber](https://github.com/Alex-2-Graf/Leningrad-2-128k-SRAM)) — *Differs from the previous project version by routing the `/IORQ-GE` signal directly to its intended destination. On older Revision 1 adapters, `/IORQ-GE` went to pin A19 (+beta); it now routes to pin A17. To upgrade a Rev 1 adapter to Rev 2 specs, simply cut the trace going to A19 and solder a jumper wire to A17.* * **Nemo-bus and ZX-bus Adapter** ([Gerber](Gerber/L2_NS_Rev_1_1_Gerber.zip)) — *Differs from the previous project version by routing the `/IORQ-GE` signal directly to its intended destination.

It also adds a dedicated +5V/+12V power input molex. Vintage ZX-bus cards can still be connected here using adapters ([First](https://github.com/Alex-2-Graf/Leningrad-2-128k-SRAM) / [Second](https://github.com/Alex-2-Graf/Leningrad-2-128k-SRAM)).* * **Upgraded Slot Expansion Board** ([Schematics](Export/Back_L2_Nemo_x3_L2.pdf) / [Gerber](Gerber/Back_L2_Nemo_x3_L2_gerber.zip)) — *A redesigned backplane where the ZX-bus connector is replaced with a standard Leningrad-2 edge connector.
